and israel has agreed to that. >> reporter: back in the states, the struggle for peace spilled over into clashes outside the democratic national convention in chicago with protesters pushing the white house to continue working toward an end to the war. so the negotiations are still expected to continue this week. there has been an added bit of urgency with all these talks after iran vowed to retaliate against israel for killing hamas and hezbollah leaders. again, the concern here is that this conflict could become a broader regional war. >> no one wants to see that happen. jarred hill in new york. thank you. we are learning more now about the six people including a high-powered new york lawyer and his wife who are missing after a mega yacht sank in a powerful storm off sicili. the search is proving to be more difficult because of the depth of the ship and debris blocking access to the cabins. cbs' chris livesay is in rome with the latest developments. >> reporter: the search is on for the missing and for answers as to how this 184-foot super
